The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), through its Cybercrime Investigation and Coordination Center (CICC), has begun taking action against content promoting unlicensed online gambling platforms. The crackdown follows recent efforts to curb the spread of gambling promotions across platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok. The CICC warns that those who continue to promote illegal gambling platforms may face charges under laws covering illegal gambling, tax evasion, and data privacy violations. The Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center (CICC) has recommended that the Philippine National Police Anti-Cybercrime Group (PNP-ACG) file charges against social media personality Jam Magno for allegedly promoting illegal online gambling sites. According to the CICC, the finding was the result of an almost month-long investigation following hundreds of complaints against influencers allegedly endorsing unlicensed and unregulated online gambling platforms in the country. Online gambling in the Philippines is regulated by the government agency PAGCOR (Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation). Today, only PAGCOR-licensed online gambling sites may legally operate in the Philippines. PAGCOR even launched a public website called “PAGCOR Guarantee,” which lists all approved online gaming platforms.
